Its horrible. It affects everything in your day to day life, it all feels so helpless at times man

Even their oversimplified caricature of ADHD doesnt sound appealing at all, it just makes them appear like a clueless child

Which i dont understand why anyone would want to be perceived that way, unless they get off to the idea of others infantilising them

Everybody wants to be special and different nowadays. Media has romanticized all sorts of ilnesses and conditions.

Everything feels like a struggle, i dont feel like i have a habit of anything, its more so just decisions that i have to force myself to make rather than doing something that u dont even think about

Ill put myself off for hours from eating or going to the toilet, id say i even procrastinate things i enjoy doing. But procrastination doesnt feel like the right word, its more so that i cant bring myself to do a lot of things, or that i cant stick to hobbies/activities for a long amount of time

Ong I’m actually diagnosed with this shit and I constantly feel like a retard, even if I’m academically smart I’m genuinely dehumanised for existing
